You might be bending your lower back to get deeper than your hamstring mobility will allow. Try to be mindful you don't do that unless the plans to train your lower back primarily.
Yes. Try to keep your shins vertical and your back extended hard enough to dip a little. Don't think of bending over, instead think about moving only your ass backwards until it won't move anymore.
Yes but as soon as your butt can’t “slide back” any further, that’s where the hamstrings ROM ends, and then any more hinging forward is just low back work and extra strain on back
Several possible form issues. >too wide ROM (your hammies won't stretch enough) >bar too far from quads (should travel sliding through quads) >you don't push your hips back enough >rounding back/not embracing core
Usually going too low causes rounding back, I feel comfortable lowering bar just below knee cap. RDL is very technical movement and risk of injury should be taken equally seriously than with deadlift.

Also I noticed it's much more taxing on the forearms so I had to use straps with lower weight because its distracting.
Conventional because it have better carry over to my XC training and farm work. It also hits my traps and spine erectors more which are muscles I need to work on.
Anti-rotation is a component of the lift.
Def a technical movement. Don't hop in near your regular dl weight and try it, start low and learn the movement before you go heavy.
Conventional. Sumo feels "better" to me, and it's more fuh, but I pull more with conventional. It also feels more brainless, too. With sumo, I'm having to focus on things like good technique and cues. With conventional, I'm just reaching down and picking it up.
I've always been partial to this one
I switched to RDL because I can't drop the bar in my apartment.
It's fine but my lower back gets weird, am I just getting too low?

should I ever bend the knees in RDL?
Yes. Try to keep your shins vertical and your back extended hard enough to dip a little. Don't think of bending over, instead think about moving only your ass backwards until it won't move anymore.
Basically this. Think of trying to close a door with your butt
>Back extended hard enough
Wtf are you talking about
YOUR BACK ALWAYS STAYS NEUTRAL OR YOU'LL FRICKING HURT YOURSELF
I FRICKING HATE ALL THE moronS HERE GIVING BAD ADVICE AND THEN POSTING "OH I HURT MYSELF ON DEADLIFTS" LIKE WTF YOU DID IT TO YOUR FRICKING SELF

by the end of the movement yeah
Yes but as soon as your butt can’t “slide back” any further, that’s where the hamstrings ROM ends, and then any more hinging forward is just low back work and extra strain on back
Yes. Not as much as in a conventional Deadlift. But just enough to comfortably hinge at the hips without fully locked knees

yeah, I noticed the technicality.
Did some sets with just the bar and indeed going just past the kneecaps is where I start bending knees and rounding.

Neither, I prefer SLDL & have enjoyed doing sumo deadlifts from a 3 inch deficit as a quad/glute/adductor hypertrophy lift
Conventional, I'm stronger that way
jefferson.
I don’t understand the Jefferson, it seems based but whenever I try it, it just feels awkward like my limbs are always in the way
turn more, mix grip. i use it whem my back feels a bit weak cause its much easier to keep our back vertical.
I lmaoed hard dude thanks
kek, i knew it reminded me something
Aren't you twisting your spine this way?

Conventional. I just fricking suck ass at sumo.
Both are pointless, sumo being more pointless.
Conventional for me but haven't seriously trained sumo to see if I'm better at it
Sumo just looks so fricking gay. Like a woman laying in bed getting ready to be fricked in the pussy.
As opposed to a dude bending over about to be fricked in the ass?
dudes don't get fricked in the ass
homosex isn't real it's a psyop
I hate sumo. Deadlift with proper posture feels fricking amazing after
Neither and I mog you deadshitter gays, cope and seethe forever with your fricked backs for life
You have to be a massive moron to easily hurt yourself deadlifting.
ignore weak bait man. he didn't even fake post body.
Conventional. What's the point of doing the easy version?

Maybe your quads are weak if sumo feels better but you still pull less
I don't deadlift
I'm heterosexual so I prefer conventional
DL or RDL
Sumo is SO gay and it’s not the muscles you want to focus on if you’re a man (adductors)
do you have any other monkey reaction gifs saved on your gayple device?
this one fricking sucks
>t. Butthurt (literally) sumo puller
You mean hamstrings and traps? Adductors is trained from squats mong
Sumo because when I conventional more than 3pl8 I get a sharp pain right above my penis, google says could be hernia idk
Trap bar.
How would you pick a rock up in nature?
when i want to pick something heavy up, i naturally widen my stance. /thread
